Holding
The application under Section 528 of the BNSS was dismissed as not pressed.
Summary
The applicants filed an application under Section 528 of the BNSS (2023) seeking to quash a seizure and forfeiture order dated 16 March 2026, which had been issued by the Chief Judicial Magistrate under Section 107(4) of the B.N.S. in a cyber‑crime case. After hearing, the applicants indicated that they no longer wished to pursue the application. The court therefore dismissed the application on the ground that it was not pressed, while allowing the applicants to file a fresh application before a competent court if desired. The court ordered the return of certified copies of the documents to the applicants’ counsel after retaining a photocopy. No substantive merits of the seizure order were examined.
